Cry me a river. You guys work from home, get all your meals expensed, and make $200k+
Tech industry has been due for a correction for a long time.
Edit: your tears of rage sustain and vitalize me
This just plain isn't true for the vast majority of engineers. And exceptions occur in any industry. Focus your anger on billionaires and companies rather than your peers.
I recently started making more money, but until very recently tech workers were not my peers. They're upper middle class and have very little in common with me. Sure, I'll side with them against the ownership class, but calling them "peers" is a stretch.
They are still your peers when it comes to the battle of workers vs employers. Sure, put it in a different context and it may sound wrong.
Cool, but that's not what we were talking about.
